It was the interview everyone was waiting for, troubled Lindsay Lohan being grilled by TV heavyweight Oprah Winfrey.

Breaking her silence on addiction, cocaine and her parents' relationship - a healthy looking Lindsay admitted to Oprah she lied about her drug use and at one point wanted to go to prison.

Speaking about being jailed for violating her probation in 2010, Lindsay said: “I think it was just to have some peace and just have no choice but to just sit and be. I'll never forget that moment (of being sentenced)."

Looking somber and at one point tearful, Lindsay admitted she was an "addict" but despite lying about her cocaine use she said it was alcohol which led to her downfall.

She said: "Alcohol. That in the past was a gateway to other things for me."I really haven't done it [cocaine] more than 10-15 times, of course I said 3-4 because I was terrified of being judged," she says.
